Gu Ning was startled and looked up at the person holding her.
A handsome, refined face came into view. It looked slightly familiar.
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."
Mingxi spoke softly, carrying the small female as he strode quickly toward their car.
When Gu Ning heard his voice, she immediately remembered. He was the employee from the deli she had visited the other night when she was looking for Barto.
That place was a front for capturing Mixed Breeds, and he was in league with Kuinan!
Alarm bells screamed in Gu Ning's mind, and she started to struggle violently in his arms.
When Mingxi saw the little female struggling so fiercely, he tightened his grip slightly and tried to placate her. "It's too dangerous here. I'll get you out of—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a giant wolf came roaring out of the fog and lunged at him.
Mingxi reacted quickly, rolling on the ground while holding the small female, dodging the giant wolf's attack.
